Creamy Bratwurst Stew
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 6-1/2 hours
YIELD: 8 servings (2 quarts).
A rich sauce coats this hearty combination of potatoes, carrots and bratwurst chunks. I adapted a baked stew recipe that appeared in a newspaper. This is so comforting on cold winter evenings. —Susan Holmes, Germantown, Wisconsin
